Marco Borriello’s agent confirms he “spoke to Tottenham” and other English clubs regarding a January move away from Roma.

The well-travelled striker has played for the likes of Milan, Juventus and Genoa, while this season he has one goal in 11 games for the Giallorossi.

“Marco is very happy in Rome and with Roma, but clearly the recovery of Francesco Totti and MattiaDestro from injury is reducing his space and he’d like to play more,” agent Carlo Cavalleri told Sky Sport Italia.

Cavalleri was in London on Friday for the WyScout Forum and admits he got some work done while there.

“His profile is very much appreciated in England, as they are looking for players like this. Being here in London I had the chance to talk to various clubs. Tottenham? Yes, they were among them.

“For the moment he is happy at Roma, then we’ll see what happens over the next few days.”
